Limerick Ode To “Tell An Old Joke Day”
By Madeleine Begun Kane

A fellow just loves telling jokes:
Ancient japes — yes, he’s one of those folks
Who is certain he’s witty.
Egged on — this ain’t pretty —
Bored listeners pelt him with yolks.

    Hi Mad, this is fun! (or not).

    A fellow just loves telling jokes:
    that bore all the girls and their blokes.
    They are so unfunny
    he doesn’t make money
    it’s all to annoy the good folks.

    The traveling salesman’s old jokes
    Kept the farmer & daughter (plain folks)
    From their grimmest foreboding;
    Their chicken, cross the roaring,
    Told stories as well; Boffo yolks!
